Sir
I have been requested by Mrs. Molly Dole, widow of the late Enrich Dole of Newbury, deceased, who was a soldier in the War of the revolution, and ask leave in her behalf, to forward you herewith, her application for the benefit of the late Act of Congress of July 7th 1838, with the accompanying evidence of his services, which has been once before your Department, on the application made by him, in his lifetime, for the benefit of the Act of Congress of March 18th 1818, as you will see by the endorsements thereon. — The last deposition of Lieutenant Hull may not have been forwarded at that time, as I believe it was not, because Mr. Dole considered, that on rendering a schedule of his Effects, it would be found although small, to exceed the limits established by Mr. Calhoun, and did not therefore further present claim. — Should there now be deemed satisfactory, she respectfully requests that certificate may be issued to her in such amount, as you shall consider her entitled to receive under said Act for her husband's services as Artificer and private.
